TALL TREES
Chorus Solo
Tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees. } 2
Tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees. - The coast of California is a beautiful sight,
Tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees. - with the tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees.
Tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees. - The coast of California is a beautiful sight,
Tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees. - with the tall trees, tall trees, big tall trees.
Big trees, tall trees } 3
Big, tall trees.
Focus on: This chant is particularly effective if one begins with quite a slow beat and, starting very softly and gently, builds the sound until it evokes the giant redwood trees of California.
